MasterCard.com brought down in apparent Wikileaks-motivated internet attack

MasterCards website was knocked offline earlier today following a WikiLeaks-inspired internet attack against it. A Twitter user called ibomhacktivist seems to be taking responsibility for the attack. MasterCard angered the hacktivist community after it suspended the ability for WikiLeaks to accept payments via the firm. Police were called to the scene after the attack, but no arrests have been made. The attack is thought to be the latest salvo by hactivists in a series of attacks against MasterCard.”]
